Operators may be integrated into TRACES subject to being registered with the authority. When they wish to transport animals, they must fill in an electronic form in a standardized format, which contains all the appropriate information concerning the animal or product of animal origin, destination and any stages.<\/p>\n
In the case of intra-EU trade in animals or products of animal origin, the information is forwarded to the competent authority of the State of origin. After checking the content of the form, the authority may reject or validate the transport. Where appropriate, it will issue a health certificate and route plan relating to the animals\u2019 welfare in the official languages of the State of origin and destination. On this decision, the operator may carry out the transport.<\/p>\n
In the case of import or transit of animals or products of animal origin, the official at the border inspection post who checks the animals or products and the veterinary import documents is responsible for entering the relevant information in the TRACES database, including the decision whether to grant entry or refuse access to the EU and for issuing a CVED.<\/p>\n
All information is sent to the veterinary authority of the State of destination, to the central authority of countries of transit and all appropriate controls. It can be consulted during checks carried out en route or at a destination. It may also be consulted by economic operators registered in the database.<\/p>\n
An aid to decision-making automatically gives information on the statutory certification requirements for the type of product and origin, as well as operational information on any safeguard measures, tightened checks and consignments of the same type which have been rejected at the border.<\/p>\n
The TRACES system encompasses the bodies currently responsible for receiving and sending information at regional and national level.<\/p>\n
The EU Commission is responsible for controlling the TRACES system for developing and maintaining it.<\/p>\n\n
